When asked for her ID thrust her badge at the High School girl. Had her first name on it.

After getting huffy she finally pulled out her DL. We had those two girls getting credit because we had a shortage of workers.

I was passing out the Memory cards. I pushed a paper out and said,” “We really need Poll Workers, would you care to volunteer?” In a nice pleasant voice.

When she returned her card she was nice and friendly. Point made without rudeness. Those girls always wanted to work with me.
